Topic: Attachment Trauma and the Nervous System

This webinar is designed to educate about different attachment styles and how they impact the nervous system. Relational systems are so important in our everyday lives that we may not realize there are disruptions that can be caused by trauma. We will examine how to begin to heal these attachment wounds and have more functional relationships.

Objectives:

• Identify the different types of trauma and how trauma presents physiologically
• Discuss functions of the Autonomic Nervous System and the threat response
• Identify three phases of trauma treatment and treatment objectives for managing nervous system dysregulation
• Explain different attachment styles and how traumatic experiences can shape the type of attachment systems we have
